How to Avoid Becoming a Real Estate Meme

The internet is full of comedic content, but so often blogs don’t need to create anything to make others laugh. All they have to do is schlep material from real life, including from real manor listings. 

In fact, pictures of homes that are both terrible and terribly funny are among the most popular posts today. Still, when we squint at the horrible and hilarious images of homes, they can quickly be split into two groups: properties are unredeemable and those that are just staged badly. 

What can we learn by looking at compilations of real manor listings gone wrong? While some don’t include any lesson to speak of, others can help us largest understand the art of staging, resulting in increasingly homes that are ready to sell rather than ready to entertain the public.

Keep It Generic

When real manor teachers recommend that homeowners make their properties increasingly generic in whop of showings, they usually midpoint that you should paint the walls a neutral verisimilitude and stave keeping too many personal knickknacks around. 

Then again, the majority of real manor teachers never encounter a kitchen entirely decked out in Mickey Mouse or with portraits of Renaissance angels on the ceiling. Unfortunately, when it comes to people who have that stratum of passion for a particular aesthetic, a gentle recommendation that the owners make the space less personal may not midpoint much.

Call On Professionals

Any real manor professional will tell you that when potential buyers are viewing a property, first impressions matter, and in this day and age, that first impression often happens when they view photos of the property online. Given the importance of these photos, then, it’s important that they squint their weightier – and this is where people get into trouble. 

By trying to manage the process themselves, homeowners end up with pictures where they towards in the mirror, selfie-style shots of rooms, and other worrisome angles. Let a professional handle the staging and photography for your listing. Most teachers have a service they recommend or typically use for this process.

Make Sure It’s Real

You may not know this, but one of the growing trends in real manor “photography” isn’t quite photography at all. Rather, some teachers choose to virtually stage rooms, taking a basically zippo canvas and subtracting details to it. 

In theory, this seems like a fairly good idea since the items on the wall or counter in staging photos don’t come with the property, but the results are often unconvincing – think, an outsized hunk of cheese on a wearing workbench or furniture so strained looking it would be out of place in a video game, never mind real life.

Relative to some of the increasingly bizarre, but real photos, virtual staging may provide the most important lesson of all for the modern homeowner and real manor agent, namely that it’s worth the money and effort to unquestionably stage properties that are for sale. While it’s increasingly involved than fussing with a photo of an empty room on Photoshop, proper staging tells potential buyers much increasingly well-nigh the home and offers a much largest first impression than these photographic fictions.

Staging and photographing properties is challenging and in the majority of cases, it’s weightier left to the professionals. Trying to stage and photograph your own property or, sometimes plane worse, artificially stage it may just turn your home into a laughing stock online, rather than helping it sell to the highest bidder.
